Dressed as Tang Bohu

In the autumn of the 11th year of Hongzhi, the Yang family in Beijing.

A group of black shadows swooped down from the air, and when they approached the ground, they suddenly spread their black wings, drew a smooth arc, and landed firmly on the outstretched arm of the man in the green shirt in the courtyard.

But it was an adult crow with black and shiny fur, a pair of round eyeballs were bright and attractive, and it looked very smart.

Yang Renzhe passed by the corridor and saw the young man breaking the sweet-scented osmanthus flowers in the courtyard and playing with the birds there, he stopped and reprimanded him: "Yuan Jian, if you have nothing to do, go to the room to study more, don't play with things and lose your mind."

Hearing this, Yang Yuanjian turned around, bowed to him and said: "With my father in the court, it is not convenient for me to take part in the examination. There is no rush to study, I have my own discretion."

Yang Renche was not annoyed when he blocked him back, but just nodded.His eldest son has been independent since he was a child, so he doesn't need to worry about it.It's just that the second son is naughty, and he is often reprimanded by him. Unknowingly, he has developed the habit of saying something when he has nothing to do.

Unexpectedly, three years later in the blink of an eye, the son is gone, but this habit is still there.

Thinking of Yang Yuanbin, a look of grief appeared on Yang Renzhe's face again.I think he sent Yang Yuanbin to Suzhou in the first place to develop shops for the Yang family, and secondly to hone his second son's mind and ability.He didn't pay much attention when he confronted the boy from the Tang family.Unexpectedly, another news came, but it was the news of Yang Yuanbin's death.

Seeing the familiar expression on his father's face, Yang Yuanjian pondered for a moment and said, "Father, the Guibang of the provincial examination was released in all provinces the day before yesterday, and Tang Yin is Jie Yuan from Yingtianfu. Not surprisingly, he will come to Beijing to prepare for the meeting in the next one or two months." tried."

"Tang Yin..." Yang Renche's face darkened as he read the name.

"Things in Suzhou back then were too strange. Although the black-clothed assassin has not been seen until now, he reported three things he did: robbing the landlord of Wu County, assassinating Prince Ning's son, and assassinating Yuan Bin. It is the heir who robbed the landlord and concealed his identity for the sake of money, so Yuan Bin’s case cannot be justified anyway. But if you don’t look at his own plot, the last two actions are obviously illogical.” Yang Yuan paused and said:

"There must be something hidden in it, and Tang Jieyuan is the key."

Hearing his old story brought up again, Yang Renzhe looked unhappy, "Even if we know it's Tang Yin, what can we do? We are beyond our reach, and King Ning is blocking it. There is nothing we can do about him for the past three years. Now he is Xie Yuan, and in a short time If he is at the top of the high school rankings and wins the favor of the Holy One, what can I do even if I am a veteran of the court?!"

Yang Yuanjian smiled gently, but said in his mouth: "It's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge. It's only been three years now, is dad going to put aside the hatred of murdering his son? If Yuan Bin knew that he would die like this It’s not in vain, if dad doesn’t avenge him, he might be so angry that he would curse him even in the underworld, right?”

"That's what you said!" Yang Renzhe was so angry that he blew on his beard.

Seeing that he was going to get angry, Yang Yuanjian's expression turned straight, "Father, I know you have concerns, but now we have a great opportunity in front of us. Tang Yin went to Beijing to rush for the exam. If he really wins three yuan in a row, there is nothing we can do, but What if it doesn't hit?"

"He's the first in Chinese subjects, and he's the best in understanding yuan. This test... shouldn't be a problem, right? And I heard that he's suave and suave, so he must have a good appearance. I don't think this palace test will be a problem for him." Yang Renche Touching his beard, he wrinkled his old face and analyzed objectively.

Yang Yuanjian was a little helpless, "I mean, let him fail the exam! This capital is under the foot of the emperor, and it is our territory. King Ning is far away in Nanjing and doesn't care about him, and Tang Yin is just a scholar. If he fails the imperial examination, he won't serve us. Did you knead?"

"This matter..." Yang Renzhe looked up and saw his son's eyes were serious, shook his head and said: "Since you have thought about it in your heart, just let it go. But—" Yang Renzhe changed the subject, He looked at the half-arm-long crow on Yang Yuanjian's shoulder with some distaste, "This bird looks unlucky, so let's throw it away quickly."

Before Yang Renzhe finished speaking, he saw the crow turn his head and look at it, his heart trembled when he saw the black eyes.Yang Renzhe squeezed his beard, turned his head and walked away.

Yang Yuanjian raised his hand and touched the crow's little head, and smiled slightly, "Don't be angry, my Li'er is smart, I can't bear to throw you away. Let's go, take you to eat, and send me a few letters later... ..."

Yang Yuanjian also turned around and walked towards the study. The crow on his shoulder lowered its head and rubbed against the side of his face, then raised its head, neither noisy nor disturbing, like a sculpture standing on Yang Yuanjian's shoulder.

……

In September of the same year, Wu County, Suzhou.

Two rows of weeping willows swayed in the wind on the side of the waterway. A scholar in white clothes and green robes stood at the bow of the boat early, with a tall figure and black hair casually scattered behind him.Eyes like a lake full of waves glanced casually at the shore, and a girl from an unknown family secretly fell in love.

"What a show!" Zhu Zhishan couldn't help cursing when he saw him on the bridge.He didn't care about the more eye-catching robe with gold powder on his body.

The boat docked at the bridgehead of Jinfan Street. Tang Ziwei got off the boat with Jitong. Before he had time to say a few words to Tang Shen and others who were waiting at the bridgehead, County Magistrate Li came up with a group of yamen servants. .

"Brother Tang Xian, I always thought you were a talented person, but I didn't expect that you became the Jieyuan of Yingtian Mansion in one fell swoop, which really gave Wu County a good reputation!" Li Xu's voice was not low, and pedestrians around stopped to look at him.

"It should be, it should be." Tang Zi couldn't avoid him, so he could only greet him with a smile.

In the past two years, Tang Ziwei has worked hard once, taking out the memory belonging to Tang Yin in his mind, crushing and eating it again, and studying the Four Books and Five Classics for a year and a half to achieve some achievements.It was that hand of calligraphy, which left a bit of sharpness no matter what, and he still couldn't learn Tang Yin's original beauty, and he no longer tried to imitate it as time went by.

Perhaps calligraphy is something that can truly reflect a person's state of mind. Tang Zi is afraid to stop thinking about the random movement of the pen, and the written words are a little more free and easy.

County Magistrate Li wanted to have a few more words with Tang Ziwei, but he revealed Tang Ziwei's identity as soon as he opened his mouth. Passers-by, scholars, and even a matchmaker who gathered around him were waiting to come over when they heard the name. At that time, gods from all walks of life rushed in, and all the servants were washed away.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Tang Zi made a complaint and hurriedly left the county magistrate and fled.

A moment later, Tang Ziwei and Zhu Zhishan, who were wearing a floral robe, poked their heads out from the alley...

"Where's Ji Tong?" Tang Ziwei looked at the people around him and asked.

"It seems that someone called the champion boy to carry him away." Xu Zhenqing popped up from the side, holding Tang Ziwei's blue coat with one hand.

He was almost carried back just now, but the man at the head saw his face and accidentally let go of his hand, and threw him off, and Xu Zhenqing was able to escape... Well, although it was not a happy thing.

"Then don't worry about him, he will find a chance to come back." Tang Ziwei nodded and walked out of the alley.

Here is some distance away from Jinfan Street, there are a lot of pedestrians coming and going on the street, few of them dared to reveal their identities on the road, and quietly went back to Tangji Restaurant.

Today's Tangji restaurant is no longer the same as when Tang Ziwei first came here, it is very lively with people coming and going.

Before entering the door, first hear the sound of elegant strings.It was only after entering the door that I saw that the decorations in this building were all calligraphy and paintings made by Tang Ziwei and others in their spare time.On the first floor, a low platform is built, on which a Guqin and a rattan chair are placed.Xu Su sat upright in a Luo skirt, and that's where the sound of the piano came from.

After Xu Su finished playing the song, she put her hands away, and walked towards the square table where Tang Ziwei and the others were seated with her skirt in hand. She bowed slightly to Zhu Zhishan and the others and said to Tang Ziwei with a smile, "Congratulations to Mr. Tang for being the number one in high school. , Su Niang has heard about Tang Jieyuan's deeds in this building for several days, if the young master doesn't come back, Su Niang will forget what kind of person the young master is."

"Is that an exaggeration?" Tang Ziwei also laughed.

Xu Suyin almost lost his life that day, and he recovered after several months of rest.During that time, Tang Ziwei redeemed Xu Su's body and placed her in the building, but he never came to see her.It wasn't until Xu Su recovered and caught Tang Ziwei by surprise in the backyard stable that the two had a good conversation.

And the result is what it is now. Xu Su never thought of embarrassing him from the very beginning. Faith and love are just her own business. If one day she stops loving him, that is also her business. It's just a location in this building.

Tang Ziwei listened to her words, and suddenly realized that as a modern person, he was not as good as an ancient woman.After several days of hard thinking, I transformed the restaurant into its current appearance as in the previous life, so that Xu Su could pluck the strings without incident, and unexpectedly attracted many customers.Then, with the continuous improvement of the decoration and dishes in the building, it became what it is today.

Tang Ziwei and the others were chatting, when a storyteller in a linen bag came up from the stage, his mustache twitched, sat down on the wicker chair, and opened his mouth: "Do you know what this building is like?" place?"

The guests in the building were all attracted by him, and the storyteller continued: "This building is named Tangji Restaurant, and it is also the place where Wenqu stars descended to bestow talents on you! Have you heard of the four great talents in the south of the Yangtze River? Zhu Juren, Xu Xiucai, and Mr. Wen are all regular customers here. And their best friend is the Wenqu star Tang Yin of this Tangji restaurant. Have you heard of his name?"

"Are you talking about Tang Jieyuan who is number one in the Yingtianfu Public Examination?" A person on the second floor said.

"That's right, it's Tang Jieyuan!" The storyteller slapped his thigh and said, "Tang Jieyuan's attempt is really amazing, but before that, I think everyone in Suzhou has never heard of this name. Today I will Let me tell you, let me tell you how this generation of romantic talents is cultivated!"

"Pfft!" This is the first time Zhu Zhishan has heard a storyteller talk about Tang Ziwei here, and after hearing the beginning, he couldn't help being so happy that he took a sip of his wine and spit it out.

Seeing his attitude, Wen Huiming couldn't help frowning, straightened his waist and moved aside calmly.

The movement here was not too big or small, and the guests at the tables around them all noticed this side, and looked away when they saw that there was nothing wrong.There was only one table for two people, and Tang Ziwei and the others were all dressed in scholarly attire, as if they had suddenly discovered something, their eyes kept rolling here and there.

The storyteller also saw the scene here, and looked over with searching eyes.Tang Ziwei remained calm, and nodded to him with a smile, signaling him to continue.

So the storyteller withdrew his gaze, ready to continue.The first sentence he spoke: "It is said that Tang Jieyuan was talented and intelligent. It is no problem to recite poems and write poems since he was a child. He looks like a jade carving. Anyone who sees him can't help but fall in love with him. Even the woman on the flower boat, He has been able to coax people into obsession since he was a child..."

"puff!"

A familiar voice sounded, and the guests at the surrounding tables turned their heads and glared, and Zhu Zhishan, who had a clean mouth, blinked innocently.

Everyone looked sideways, and Zhang Ling, who had just taken a sip of tea, covered his mouth with his sleeve and nodded awkwardly at them.

Zhang Ling can be regarded as the person who knows Tang Yin the most, even though he has heard this passage once, but when Tang Ziwei sat beside him with a serious face like that, he couldn't help it.

Tang Ziwei squinted his eyes and signaled the storyteller to continue.

"...The boy Tang Yin was 15 years old and the first in the middle school. That's a madman. Tang Guangde and the Qiu family also indulged him, and those who proposed marriage had to step through the threshold. It is said that there are even some ancestors who are generations old. The young master of the scholar cried and insisted on marrying..."

"puff!"

When he was interrupted for the third time, the eyes of several tables of guests who were listening to the gossip around him were about to burst into flames.

"Sorry, you continue." Tang Ziwei calmly took the square handkerchief Wen Huiming handed over, wiped the wine stains from the corner of his mouth, got up from his seat, and walked out.

Zhu Zhishan and Xu Zhenqing looked at each other, and they were about to follow out with a secret smile, but they saw the scholar at the other table who had started paying attention to this side earlier and chased after him.

The scholar was in such a hurry that he even forgot to call his companions, and when he went out of the restaurant, he realized that Tang Ziwei hadn't gone far, and was waiting sideways at the door.Seeing him coming out, Tang Ziwei wasn't surprised at all, and asked casually, "You've been looking at me for a long time, right? What's the matter?"

"You are Tang Yin, aren't you?" The man looked eagerly, implying expectation.

"En," Tang Ziwei nodded, "You are?"

"My surname is Xu, my name is Jing, and my name is Hengfu." Xu Jing's face was flushed, and he chased him out boldly, but at this time his voice was like the buzzing of mosquitoes and flies, "I am a descendant of the Xu family in Wucheng. The young master who cried and insisted on marrying you when you were 15 years old."
